Sparknotes/tl;dr for the entire profile: NYC based neuroscientist via Chicago, Los Angeles, and Boston. I enjoy the occasional Netflix binge, reading on screens, and trying (and later making fun of) food inventions.

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs, thus inheriting sports franchises that continually disappoint their fans. Went off to Los Angeles for college (Fight On!) and after 4 years of 70 and sunny, I moved to the northeast. Following a brief stint in Boston, I'm now a grad student in New York.

What I’m doing with my life

I am grad student, I work in a lab studying brain tumors. I know I don't want to end up in academia, but I'm trying to figure out what I will do next. Leaning towards entrepreneurship and venture capital.

I’m really good at

Procrastinating, but also focusing and getting things done; knowing random facts, self deprecating humor, remembering random lines from TV shows (could probably recite every line from Friends or The Office)

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

Books: I mostly read non-fiction (biographies, business, social science books). I read lots from New Yorker, The Atlantic, The Economist and long form from a dozen or so online news sites/blogs. Last book I read was Zero to One, working on Give and Take right now.

Movies: Netflix and HBO have ruined movies for me. A few favorites include October Sky, A Clockwork Orange, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Dark Knight, 500 Days of Summer, and Inception.
